Ok folks here's the question:
I have recently achieved 0 nitrate and <.1 phosphate and since I have, it seems that my montipora (all varieties) are exhibiting poor polyp extension as compared to when I had 20-40 ppm nitrate and .15-.2 phosphate. The weird thing is that they're all growing well otherwise.(tho my superman monti faded terribly, I believe this is a par issue not relevant to parameters but I could be wrong).
Is it possible that I made my water "too" clean?
Any feedback is welcome and appreciated!
Thanks
Bill
